Post by: grousetracker on December 25, 2009, 01:44:51 PM: im looking for a left handed varmint rifle, no bull barrel and not in savage. 22-250,223 or 204. i dont know alot about the 204 but it sounds like the new varmint round.

Post by: yorketransport on December 27, 2009, 09:20:40 AM: If the last Savage you had was a pre-Accutrigger, it may be worth trying a new one. They've really come a long ways in the last few years. I've had at least 6 in the last 5 years and all but 1 shot under .5" with handloads. The one gun that shot over .5" was an older 300 Win Mag what would still stay under 1".
Savage just has so many left handed options that they seem like a good fit.
